From Run Clubs to Rishtas: Why Wellness Is the New Networking

What if your next investor—or love story—was just a walk away? In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how run clubs have become the new Shaadi.com and LinkedIn for women like us.

We talk about how movement-based communities like walk clubs and run clubs are shifting how we connect, heal, and grow—especially for women of color juggling career, culture, and chronic conditions like diabetes.
